How convenient...
So... the Spengler Cup is being played right now in Switzerland. It's basically a club-invite hockey tournament; the oldest in the world. Generally, it's European hockey clubs, plus a 'Team Canada' in the tourney. Here's the kicker. Because of the lockout, Hockey Canada wants to be able to field a team of non-NHL players in the 2006 Olympics, so the Spengler Cup is a test-bed for a non-NHL team. The other clubs, however, have no such restriction.
On a related note, kudos to Team Canada (where the player closest to the NHL is Alex Auld, and the team includes erstwhile Oilers fourth-liner Domenic Pittis), for being 2-0 so far, and beating, today, the host HC Davos team which includes Bruins superstar Joe Thornton, league leading scorer Rick Nash and Hart and Art Ross winner Martin St. Louis.

inuyasha the anime right? It is on YTV and is super popular with the tween, anime fan set right now. Apparently we are not that much farther behind the Japanese broadcast of the show. Only a few weeks at the most. That doesn't answer any questions but some more useless info to put away for later.

Google Zeitgeist (Top Searches). Not that I have a problem with it, but can someone explain Bob Marley as the #7 most searched man? And why is inuyasha the most popular Canadian search?
Also, based on local search queries, apparently the most Google-d day involves waking up at a Holiday Inn, going shopping at Walmart, hitting the Spa, grabbing a Pizza, buying Real Estate, heading to the YMCA before going to the Doctor.

That MMFT site is too nerdy for me! I ban myself from ever going back to that site ever again! I posted one little thing and then suddenly they all draw out their knives and start going crazy like I did something wrong. I just posted: "Have you ever had a idea and then someone else, someplace else uses your idea but in a slightly different form? How was your reaction?" Then one bastard is like: "You are a arrogant person to think that people take or steal your ideas. If you are such a creative genius then why can't you think up better ideas. If you can't then your just full of it." And I'm like what the hell just happened? I didn't say I was a creative genius! I just posted up a topic about subconcious idea exchange! I know every idea has pratically all been done, it is the interpretation and variation under someones influence that makes it different. So why the hell do these nerds have to attack me? Can they sense I'm not nerdy enough? I'm not that hardcore into mechas as they are?

Well, Beck, I thought it was rad. Haven't checked out Delicate Art yet, but many thanks for it. Also, I love the (obviously doctored) christmas message at 12:25 am.
